I'm pretty sure the pregnant question is illegal in the US. It's an obvious discriminatory question. If we had a regulatory body worth a shit, they would get punished for it.

If you can't figure out someone is a dud in 60 minutes you are doing it wrong. If you can't figure out someone is a dud in 60 minutes, 360 minutes isn't going to make a difference. Why waste the extra 300 minutes?

"we'll hire overseas for a fraction of the cost, darn" The ones at a fraction of the cost aren't very good. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Ya Google kinda pioneered that. It helps that Google makes millionaires out of many of its employees over 15 years. Would you go through that process for say Baskin and Robbins corporate?

Yes, but you knew that within 1 hour. It (hopefully) didn't take you 6 hours to realize this person was a dud.

That is making the assumption that any time spent over the traditional 1 hour helps you confirm whether the candidate is performant or not. I dispute that assumption and figure any time outside of that initial hour makes a hiring mistake th

It's unlikely police get confronted with guns in the US too; we just have 350 million people, extremely authoritarian police culture, and a corporate news that jumps on the chance to report every instance. I would wager way more citize

I remember when on-site interviews were an hour and that was it. All this stuff companies do now is insane. If a person isn't performant, you'll know within 30 days, but you'll never know by interviewing them. I haven't

Personally, if I went into an already mildly anxious situation (like going to work or driving, etc) pot would make me more anxious. At the end of the day, it made me less anxious and helped me unwind. It also helped me focus on coding when

I've built quite a few apps and web pages that ultimately failed primarily due to not having a client. To take a lesson from my failures, always make sure you have a client.

I would guess this article is paid propaganda. So many articles about RTO/WFH in the last few years, it's obviously trying to manipulate people. If you consider news today as a paid propaganda machine for the wealthy, articles lik

To me it says that working in an office+commute is much more draining than working at home. So much so that they work only the required amount. When they worked at home, they worked more because it was more enjoyable.
